The DRM on Fantastic Four & Day After Tomorrow cause undesirable playback

The DRM on Fantastic Four & Day After Tomorrow cause undesirable playback.

Both the Samsung's BDP-1200 and LG's BH100 cannot even playback the Blu-Ray DVD's. The BDP-1000 can play the discs but, with error messages and it will stutter.

Those same discs can play fine on all other Blu-Ray players, including the PS3. Samsung & LG are both aware of this DRM issue and are issuing a firmware update to resolve this problem.
